I stumbled upon the YouTube channel "Hillbilly Kitchen" several weeks ago to hear their story. It intrigued me back then so I followed along on their journey to culminate watching their wedding ceremony. How interesting when they shared that the bread baked for all to partake in communion (if the guests chose to also partake) as their first meal together as a married couple, the flour used to bake the bread came from Israel and the wine for communion also came from Israel. How ingenious that there are people out there sharing their testimonies. God truly is good all the time. What a labor of love that this couple rented a huge cabin so family members/friends that wanted to stay could stay @ the cabin with them. So thoughtful that the bride with assistance made pot roast in the ovens with carrots & potatoes to serve the guests after the ceremony took place. Even more thoughtful that they prepared snacks, etc. for their guests to bring in the New Year since they did get married on NYE.
As I was watching it reminded me of an older friend of mine that wanted to get married @ midnight when the turn of the century took place. They did as we celebrated going into 2000. They actually as a married couple danced together right on the platform in church. I was honored with a special task to bless them with that day. As the guests were enjoying the cake/dessert buffet after the ceremony. I snuck out of the reception and I was to go to their home and light the candles she had placed throughout the house, and turn on the music she had selected for them. I wanted so badly to purchase rose petals for them and scatter them throughout the house but she requested not for me to do that so I honored that wish.
She had gone to be with the Lord a few years ago and I do not know if her spouse is still living. They moved out of Ohio many years ago but we still did keep in touch via telephone here and there. My how time flies doesn't it.
